I hadn't heard that. Definitely a lousy day. I can't walk down Baker Street without that tune going through my head and it always makes me smile. My lasting memory of Carnes was watching him accompany a Japanese poet reading her stuff whilst he played fretless - this was on the Old Grey Whistle Test (showing my age now) and I think it was the most understated piece of amazing bass playing I've ever heard. Thanks for letting us know. Best wishes.
